What to do when an itch comes for a coconut-y, chocolate-accompanied treat? Well, if you’re me— you raid your pantry full of random, gluten-free and natural products of varying proportions to make these epic Chocolate Coconut Turmeric Truffles!

I’ll never try to hide the fact that I’m often one to “jump the gun” on many-an-activity. Since third grade I’ve doing things like planning outfits for the first week of school a month in advance. The little quirk of mine has manifested itself in present day as an extreme excitement for seasonal baking!

So far this fall (all three days of it), I’ve experimented with a pumpkin bread, a pumpkin muffin, and a pumpkin cookie. I’m still working on the pumpkin bread and muffin, but boy do I love how fluffy and yummy these cookies turned out!…

I’m here today to talk about KRYPTONITE. Not Kryptonite in the sense of Superman’s weakness, but my own personal weakness when it comes to dessert. For me, my Grammy’s Chocolate Revel Bars have always been my absolute, ultimate cannot-say-no-even-if-I-was-offered-a-million-dollars treat.

In the past two months I’ve started a new semester of college, gotten a BRAND NEW puppy, and started a food blog… needless to say I’ve been a bit short on time. In the spirit of laziness (hooray!), I bring to you today these NO BAKE Peanut Butter Power Cookies. Plus, as an added bonus, these cookies are free of any added sugars because they’re sweetened with fruit!

You know those dreaded words that you find when you’re in a rush… they usually go a lille something like: “Preheat your oven to ___ degrees ___”? …those ones? Yeah, you won’t find those here. Not with these peanut cookies!

I’ve been in a pea-nutty sort of mood lately, and I’m really not quite sure why. It could be because I keep calling my new puppy peanut (because she really is just a little peanut… look at her!). I’ve even gotten to making HER some peanut tasting treats, but they didn’t taste too great to me. I figured it was my turn to try something that might taste good to an actual human…

In my years on this Earth I cannot recall a single bad thing that I’ve encountered thats started with the sound “Mac.” Macaroni, Macbooks, Macintosh apples… heck, I can’t even recall ever meeting a Mackenzie I didn’t like!

Macaroons are certainly not an exception to my rule of “Mac.” I’ve LOVED coconut macaroons ever since I was a little girl, and I was a huge Samoa promoter in my Girl Scouts Troop. Last week I got a hankering for these bad boys, so I decided it was time to whip up a recipe!

If you read my post about the Basics of Surviving in College as a Vegan, you know that eating on campus is both inevitable and probably in your best interest sometimes. Here I’ve laid out a San Diego State University specific guide for myself and all my fellow Aztecs, so we can eat ~freely~ and…
